MEMO
TO: . AGAWAM PLANNING BOARD
FROM: DEBORAH S. DACHOS, DIRECTOR
OFFICE OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: Zone Change -Agawam United Methodist Churchl-Mill St.
DATE: August 4,2014
On July 16, 2014, the Town received a zone change request from the Agawam United Methodist
Church and Verizon Wireless to include approximately 5.140 acres of land, aIkIa 491 ' Mill Street,
located on the south side of Mill Street in Agawam's Telecommunications Wireless Overlay District
(TWOD). The current underlying zoning is Residence A-2 and Business B. Please see attached
Zoning Map.
The applicants are requesting the Zoning Map amendment to enable them to install a
telecommunications tower at the rear of 491 Mill · Street. The property is currently occupied by a:
single family dwelling and is owned by the Agawam United Methodist Church. The proposed tower
and equipment compound is proposed to be located 470' fromthe existing house.
The Planning Office has conducted a review of this proposal and submits this report for your
information.
Land Use and Zoning
As stated above, the property for which the zone change is being requested is currently zoned
Business B and Residence A-2. Please see the attached Agawam Zoning Map to see the current
boundaries oithe Overlay District. There are no portions of the Overlay District in the vicinity of
the proposed site.
It was the Town's intent in 1998, when the Telecommunications Overlay District was adopted, that .
adequate areas be identified to allow for complete coverage throughout the Town. As such, it is the
responsibility of the appliCant to provide evidence by way of service maps to show gaps in current
• •
service levels. The applicant indicates that "the proposed facility is necessary to enhance 40 L 1E
service to Verizon Wireless' customers in Agawam". The submission includes a series of maps
showing a current dead zone in the vicinity of the proposed tower.
The adjacent land uses are varied. To the west of the site is low density residential development. To
the east is a more densely developed residential subdivision. hnmediate1y to the north on the
opposite side of Mill Street is the Agawam High School and to the south is Rt. 57.
The applicant has provided fifteen (15) photo-simulations showing where the tower will be visible
and where it would not. These are very helpful in identifYing impacts. I would caution, however,
that they were done during the summer when the deciduous trees had leaves. Visibility may be
altered once the leaves have dropped.
Environmental Considerations
A large portion of the 15 acre site is constrained by steep slopes, wetlands and a tributary of Three
Mile Brook. It appears that the area to be disturbed is outside of the Commission's jurisdiction, but
at· a minimum, the applicant should file a Request for Determination of Applicability with the
Agawam Conservation Commission.
Other Considerations
If the application for inclusion into the Overlay District is approved, a Special Permit application
must be filed with the Agawam Board of Appeals and a Site Plan with the Agawam Plarming Board.

Dear Members ofthe Board:
July 14,2014
Bell Atlantic Mobile of Massachusetts Corporation, LTD
d/b/a Verizon Wireless
491 Mill Street, Agawam, Massachusetts
Agawam Methodist Church
Zone Change to Expand the Wireless Telecommunications
Overlay District for a Wireless Communications Tower under
Section XIV, § 180-14.
Bell Atlantic Mobile of Massachusetts Corporation, Ltd. d/b/a Verizon Wireless
("Verizon Wireless") submits this application for a zone change to include Parcel ID HI 0-2-17
a/kfa 491 Mill Street, Feeding Hills, MA 01030 (the "Property") in the Wireless
Telecommunications Overlay District ("WTOD"). The Property is located in a Residence A-2
District and is owned by Agawam Methodist Church as described in a deed recorded in the
Hampden County Registry of Deeds at Book 3385 and Page 199. This request is made pursuant
to M.G.L. 40A, § 5 and Section 180-14 of the Town of Agawam Zoning Ordinance (the "Zoning
Ordinance").
Verizon Wireless proposes to erect a wireless telecommunications tower at the Property.
After careful and extensive review of the sites within the WTOD, it has been determined by
Verizon Wireless that there is no suitable site within the WTOD which allows for the
telecommunications service Verizon Wireless requires to fill in areas of the Town of Agawam
(the "Town") currently without proper and adequate service. Presently, the WTOD does not
allow for sufficient coverage throughout the Town. Since the inception of the WTOD, the
wireless telecommunications industry has changed dramatically as cellular telephone usage has
increased both in terms of the volume of customers and the types of services utilized. This has
put a strain on existing telecommunications facilities necessitating the establishment of new
sites. The WTOD purportedly did not anticipate this change in the market and needs to be
adjusted accordingly as maybe required by the Federal Communications Act of 1996 ("TCA").
The objective of the subject site is to provide additional 4G LTE capacity and coverage
to Agawam, which will improve the experience ofVerizon Wireless customers. The proposed
• 2 •
site also provides for integration with the sites within the Verizon Wireless "network" to provide
seamless coverage in Agawam. More specifically, the proposed facility is necessary to enhance
4G LTE service to Verizon Wireless' customers in Agawam. Verizon Wireless' existing
transmitter locations are positioned to the northeast (380 Union Street, West Springfield), to the
east (628 Meadow Street Extension), to the southeast (31 Pond Side Road), to the southeast
(1804 Main Street), to the southwest (850 South Westfield Road), and to the northwest (591
Northwest Street -Provin Mountain). These sites currently provide 4G L TE data service to
Verizon Wireless customers. The proposed Mill Street installation will deliver 4G LTE service
along approximately 3.0 mi. ofRt. 57, along approximately 1.8 mi. ofRt. I 47/Springfield Street,
along approximately 2.6 mi. of Mill Street, and along 1.5 mi. of Silver Street. The installation of
4G LTE equipment at 491 Mill Street would bring additional 4G LTE service and capacity to the
above mentioned areas. The proposed site, being centrally located to Verizon Wireless' existing
cell sites in the area, makes it the optimum location for 4G LTE data service.
If, after a public hearing is held by the Planning Board, the City Council approves this
petition for a zone change, Verizon Wireless will submit a Special Permit Application under
Section 180-94 of the Zoning Ordinance with the Board of Appeals as the Special Permit
Granting Authority under Section 180-2 of the Zoning Ordinance. The benefits to the Town and
the public provided by high quality data transmission service is in harmony and compliance with
the Zoning Ordinance, the TCA, and their respective general purpose and intent, without adverse
effects to the Town.
A site plan and additional documentation are being submitted with this
application in addition to the $500.00 required deposit. Verizon Wireless' engineers have
prepared propagation plots for this proposed facility which are enclosed showing the area to be
serviced. Also enclosed are photosimulations prepared by Verizon Wireless' consultants which
demonstrate that the proposed facility would result in no adverse visual impact in the Town.

AGAWAM NORTH 2, MA
Site Justification:
<Reference -Agawam North 2, MA -Site Locations Map>
The proposed installation of equipment at 491 Mill Street, behind the Agawam
Methodist Church, is necessary to enhance 4G L TE service to our customers in
Agawam. Our existing transmitter locations are positioned to the northeast
(AGAWAM 2, MA -380 Union Street, West Springfield), to the east (AGAWAM
EAST, MA -628 Meadow Street Extension), to the southeast (LONGMEADOW,
MA -31 Pond Side Road), to the southeast (SIX FLAGS, MA -1804 Main
Street), to the southwest (AGAWAM 3, MA -850 South Westfield Road), and to
the northwest (AGAWAM, MA -591 Northwest Street -Provin Mountain).
These sites currently provide 4G L TE data service to our customers. Our
objective is to provide additional 4G L TE capacity and coverage to Agawam,
which will improve the experience of our customers. The proposed Agawam
North 2, MA installation will deliver 4G L TE service along approximately 3.0 mi.
of Rt. 57, along approximately 1.8 mi. of Rt. 147/Springfield Street, along
approximately 2.6 mi. of Mill Street, and along 1.5 mi. of Silver Street. The
installation of 4G L TE equipment at 491 Mill Street would bring additional 4G L TE
service and capacity to the above mentioned areas. The proposed site, being .
centrally located to our existing cell sites in the area, makes it the optimum
location for 4G L TE data service.
